Hi Neil

Thanks for your response. Please see my next posting as I have solved the problem - it was the nylon washers.

My understanding is that cat 5 and cat 6 cables are exactly the same electrically, just have slightly different impedances to accomodate higher network speeds for cat 6. At modular speeds there will be no effective difference.
Best wishes

Hi everyone. Almost Happy (Christian) New Year. I bought myself a pair of the new multicore modules as a Xmas treat (how incredibly useful in a large system Dieter - amazing that no-one has thought of it before). I have a very odd problem - The modules link perfectly with the cables supplied but they are only very short. When I try any other network cables however nothing seems to connect. I have checked the cables by linking my laptop to the router and that works fine, but I get no connections at all when I use them between the A180-9s. One of them is 1m long and two are 3m. Any suggestions please
